parent-teacher conference

met the gals' teachers today... was really reluctant to go... especially when they are 1.5hrs apart... lasting approx 20min each...

i went nonetheless...

met with rachelle's teacher first... he speaks almost no english... and i spoke very little japanese... there were many awkward silences during the 20min... i did most of the talking... half english... half broken japanese... dun really know if he understood a thing that i said...

then it was joanna's turn... this time it was not as challenging... there was another japanese teacher who came along to help translate... her english is not too fluent... but definitely more enjoyable than the previous...

at the end of the day... gals seem to be doing very well in school... raising their hands to try answering in japanese... hardworking... always smiling...

良かったですね。。!
